Active Network said Thursday that it will relocate its corporate headquarters to downtown Dallas, generating 1,000 jobs.

The 15-year-old company, which provides cloud-based activity management software, said in a statement that it chose Dallas after “an extensive search” based on the ability to recruit and retain future employees as the company continues to grow.

“We see Dallas as an opportunity to centralize our location as we expand globally, recruit great talent and increase our operational excellence,” Darko Dejanovic, the company’s chief executive, said in the statement. Active already has an office in Irving.

Company spokeswoman Kathy Bricaud declined to comment further.

The Texas Enterprise Fund is investing $8.6 million in Active, tied to its job generation and its planned $13 million capital investment in Dallas, according to the governor’s office.
